Topics: 3.2. Configuration Management5.1. Agile Systems Engineering5.3. MBSE & Digital Engineering
Abstract: The focus of the presentation will be to present and start a discussion on the benefits of applying appropriate configuration management to the model based systems engineering approach. The presentation will first provide an insight into configuration management best practices by going through the five activities in configuration management: - Configuration management planning - Configuration Identification - Configuration change management - Configuration Status accounting - Configuration Verification and audit The presentation will then move to an exploration of the MBSE approach as well as the Digital twin and Digital System Model concepts. We will then pursue to look at how appropriate CM is applied to the MBSE approach including the Digital twin alongside an example that was developed as a study by the Transportation Working Group. The aim will be to focus on Configuration Management advancements in the Software Engineering field (i.e. Git, CI/CD, DevSecOps, …) and how they can benefit MBSE by providing truth, trust and traceability of data throughout the system lifecycle. Finally the presentation will reflect on the state of the art and future axes of development.
